4 out of 5 stars Good Tunes in a Saturated Market.......2005-04-12

This is a smaller compilation that came out in 2002. It was based out of London and was compiled by Gerry Lyseight for Nascente records. This label released "Jazz Brazilia" and another very good cd titled "Brasil Accoustico" - the ladder cd featured Renato Paz and Ceumar among others in more traditional and folkish Brazilian music.

What pulled me to this album was a particularly hard to find track by Christian Franck and Marc Brown, or 2/3's of Smoke City. Their track, "Hawai", has an almost Brazil twinged middle-Eastern track, if you can imagine! While it's not the strongest song I've ever heard of them, it does have a noticeable Smoke City flavor to it that I really miss hearing when they performed together. But Smoke City as a collective (with Nina Miranda) do feature with a tune taken off of their 2001 album "Heroes of Nature" with "Can You Feel That". Great track! The other songs on the CD that I enjjoyed were Moreno Veloso+2's "Deusa Do Amor", mad smooth. And Arto Lindsay's "Pode Ficar" was stunning to me - it takes you to a sunset in the Brasil countryside. Da Lata's "Inae" is also very spirited and Marcos Valle's "Para De Fazer Besteira" is given the 4 Hero treatment with broken beats. I dig that track... it's funky and still seems fresh to me. Incognito's "Fearless" was a nice wind-down too.

I can recommend this one. Not all of the songs are so original - although I dig the track, Suba's "Felicidade" has featured on quite a few comps at this time and beyond. And I was never a big fan of Max De Castro when he sings. But the originality of some of the other songs is impressive as I have to admit, it's not very often you'll see some of the artists here on the cookie cutter comps that prefer to go the conservative route. So check it out & enjoy! And of course, if you dig this, check out work by Da Lata, Smoke City and Suba along with a few other electronic twinged comps like the early days of Break & Bossa and Trip Do Brasil.
